Sharon Robinson Morris is writing a book about Frank & Libbie's lives during their years in Everett, Washington before they moved to Lilliwaup. In the process of her writing, she concluded that she needed to learn some more about their lives in Wisconsin. In March 2012 she and I flew to Wisconsin, rented a car and visited many places, including Osseo, where Libbie (1875) and Pierpont (1895) were born, and Melrose, where Frank (1871), Frances (1897), Victor (1901) were born. The picture above is of the actual property outside of Osseo once owned by Libbie's father, Aaron Burr Franklin.
